Blueberries are in the produce bag this week! These are hands-down the favorite fruit in our house. Each spring we pick our own blueberries and come home with about 10 pounds in under an hour of picking with a good crop! They are full of antioxidants and have tons of health benefits. Below is the French Toast recipe that we have at Christmas Brunch each year -- and it's so easy -- you have to prep it the night before!

French Toast Bake (via allrecipes)
- 12 day-old French bread
- 5 eggs
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup packed brown sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
Directions:
- Arrange bread in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. In a bowl, combine the eggs, milk, 3/4 cup brown sugar, vanilla and nutmeg; pour over bread. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
- Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Sprinkle pecans over egg mixture. Combine butter and remaining sugar; drizzle over the top. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees F for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with blueberries. Bake 10 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
